Description
The vehicle was removed from the old register on September 1, 1963, and eventually ended up in Östersund through a friend of the current owner's father. This friend, sometime in the late sixties or early seventies, saw the truck parked on a farm in Skåne. He bought and transported it to Östersund, initiating a restoration project. Progress was slow, and when the friend moved to the west coast in 2014, the current owner's father bought the truck in 2015 as a joint father/son project. They continued together, but since the father's passing in 2018, progress has stalled. The owner hopes to find someone to carry on with the project. The vehicle has been stored in a warm and dry place ever since its discovery in Skåne. Advertisements in the Lantmannabladet of that era boasted of a "six-cylinder engine with four forward gears", also highlighting that the truck "was built by skilled Swedish craftsmen". Indeed, vehicles back then weren't exactly speed demons, and with the torque and power from a bigger engine, life was made easier for the users, who undoubtedly also appreciated bodies with Swedish craftsmanship.
Technical data
Condition
-
Mechanical condition
The original engine has been test started in the wooden rig shown in the photos, using a Volvo radiator. A completely refurbished spare original engine from 1931 is also included. The wheel suspension, rear axle, driveshaft, springs, rims, and frame have been painted black by the current owner.
-
Interior condition
A wooden frame for the seat has been constructed and integrated into the cabin. The metal instrument panel has been surface-treated, with openings for the instrument cluster, which in turn has not been refurbished but is complete.
-
Exterior condition
The wooden frame for the body, cabin, and flatbed was replaced and built already 50 years ago when the first restoration effort began. The cabin, hood, and fenders are only loosely attached for the photos to provide a reasonably clear view of what the vehicle looks like. The fenders have been sandblasted and painted, and the hood has been sandblasted.
-
General condition
A fun and largely complete project in a good foundational condition for further restoration.
